Interesting.
- Application performance 10% above hexa-core 6800K isn't bad at all if it's priced closely
- Looking at 7700K reviews, 8C/16T Ryzen would be ~12.5-15% ahead in application performance based on this chart
- From a technical point of view Intel's 6900K (same core count - 8C/16T) is ~15% faster
- 6900K is only 7.5% faster than 5960X according to
Hardware.fr, therefore 2014 Haswell-E octo-core remains faster than this Ryzen
- 6700K still dominates gaming performance - 22% faster than Ryzen, and 7700K is basically out right now (close to 10% faster than its predecessor)
- Slightly below Core i5 gaming performance, though many of the games tested are very dependant on ST performance
- Power consumption down significantly from Piledriver, but 31W more than 6700K and basically the same as Broadwell-E - and the latter is technically 140W TDP
